I have not added anything to the blog over the last week or
two, because as previously explained, boat builders have two speeds - slow and stop. We must be at stop again.
I get that feeling of deja vu. We are beginning to feel marooned in a
“Ground Hog” moment. The outstanding
work on “Alanne” has not been started, although vague promises have been made
that work will begin shortly.
Until the major outstanding jobs are completed we cannot
risk leaving “Orchard Marina”, or we could find ourselves in a position where
we have accepted the boat in its present condition.
We have had to be content with only going on short cruises from
the marina and returning the same day, in the hope that work really will commence *manyarna or maybe tomorrow.
* manyarna - Spanish for maybe tomorrow, but probably never.
The photos below show some of the outstanding jobs, some more serious
than others.
Bathroom tap only just manages to put water into the sink, Builders have agreed to replace tap for one with a longer reach. ------------- SOON
Galley cupboard should have swing out shelves for easy access @ a cost of £450.00. ----------------------- PAID UPFRONT
Fridge/Freezer door damaged during installation, builders agreed to replace. -- NO SIGN OF REPLACEMENT
Roof looks a bit like a beach with multi-colour sand. Agreed roof to be repainted. --------------------- ANYONE FOR BEACH VOLLEY BALL
Diesel stove roof outlet. A real bodged job. Builders agreed replacement with correct outlet. ------------- CANNOT USE STOVE TILL THIS IS FIXED
Hing on cover of control binnacle broke off after a couple of uses. Welding very poor quality. Builders agreed to repair. ------------------- BOAT CONTROLS CANNOT BE SECURED
